All team/exhibitions/community events must get approved by ME to be ran at FR18 period! Any "Community event" will be ran by the communities that requested their game to be played at FR18. Remember that Community event doesn't mean it won't happen. If I allow it at FR then it's a tournament regardless of the label. Hence the name EVENT in the title. We would just need some help with the systems/games and you will have an area to play and run the tournament. All community events registration will be at the door only.

Team/exhibitions/community events that are confirmed as of now are as followed:

Of course we are going to bring back the popular series "CURLEY MUSTACHE BATTLE ROYALE" 5v5 team Regional tournament. The hype of FR + CM is too powerful and I know there will be more regions/teams allowed this year! More details coming soon for this instant classic!

We are proud to announce that FINAL ROUND XV will be on March 2-4, 2012. The hype doesn't stop and we had to start extra early on planning for FR15. As of right now the




Major game roster for FRXV are as followed:










*** = Games apart of the Evolution Tournament Season

9. Street Fighter III 3rd strike online edition

10. Tekken6




The systems used will be PS3 for the time being. This may change if I get sponsorship from another source. Other games will be added to the list, but those are the core games that will be played at FR15 up to this moment. We have A LOT IN STORE for people that plan to attend FR15 that we will be hinting towards throughout the year. Being the 15th anny of FR we have to do it BIG this year event and that is one reason we are changing venues for FR15.




As always we aim to bring you the best tournament you've ever competed in each and every year and FR15 will try to top this years event! We are upgrading the venue from this past year event and we hope everyone will enjoy our new venue. The "WESTIN" is the new home of FR15 and here's the location:




The "WESTIN" Atlanta Perimeter North




7 Concourse Parkway

Atlanta,Georgia

30328

United States




With the 15th aniversary of Final Round we felt that we had to upgrade on the venue and we heard the complaints about having to pay for parking. This year there will be NO PARKING FEE'S!!!!! That goes for players that get a room at the hotel or for those that want to spectate. The Room rates will be $93.00 per night (Normally $165) if you reserve under the Final Round 15 group rate.




I CAN'T WAIT for this event to happen! If you think your serious about Fighting games and you always wanted to come to Final Round, but never had the chance to attend then don't MISS the 15th aniversary of FINAL ROUND!

As taken from the front page of SRK:




TeamSpooky and iPlayWinner to producer the first ever fighting game centered internet reality show. The show is called “Cross Assault” and it will follow the exploits of ten players as they try to win a prize of $25,000. Here is a description from the official press release.

Competing on Capcom’s next premier fighting game, Street Fighter X Tekken, the playing field is even. With strategic advice from the coaches, players must work together as a team and race to find the most effective strategies to win team challenges, or risk elimination.

And it’s completely LIVE. We will be live streaming practice sessions, team challenges, elimination matches, as well as player interviews and insight from special guests. You can watch as much as you want, and see the action unfold as it happens.

Cross Assault will be held in February with the finals being held at Final Round in Atlanta, GA, and you can enter! Just make a video telling Capcom why you would be a good contestant on Cross Assault and upload it to the internet. Then, submit the video link at the official Cross Assault application and rules page. You have to choose whether you are part of team Street Figther or team Tekken when you enter. Heck, for $25,000, I’ll be on any team you want me to be Capcom."




So make sure you check this series out on IPW/Spooky streams and be sure to watch the grand finals at FRXV on Saturday March 3, 2012. More exciting details for the 15th Anniversary of FINAL ROUND coming soon!

WE'RE BACK! It's time to announce the Biggest tournament on the east coast is back for another year! We got a brand new site for FR13. Goto the link to the the official dates of each game played at FR13 and rules. I'm trying to get FR more professional than previous years to get some sponsership hopefully.

http://www.finalround.org/

We will have an early bird online prepay preregistry ready by 8-1-09 for those that like to pay in advance. This will help us have more accurate #'s of how many truely plan to attend this event. For those that aren't sure that you'll beable to make it we will have the regular pre-reg list also. As always don't pre-reg if you aren't able to attend. We want to have the brackets completed the week before the event for every tournament.

We will accept walk up's to FR13 like always, but I advise everyone to prepay online so all you have to do is walk in and grab your badge and have fun at FR13. Prepay pre-reg also speeds up the sign in process and the bracket making process at the event so we can start ON TIME!!!!!!!
There will be no pre-reg in this site. The only way you can pre-reg is to do it on the FR13 site. Prepay and unsure pre-reg will start August 1, 2009 on the FR13 site. Everyone that pre-pays will be put in our database and placed in the brackets of each game they are competing in 1st. Then all of the unsure pre-reg will be put in the database as stand by untill they confirm they are coming. Getting everyone in the database is key to making the brackets early so bare with me please.

This will help the process of signing in at the event 100X faster imo. I want things to run fast so if there is a request for a side tournament MAYBE it can happen. The only way I would allow extra side tournament in the ballroom is if the majority of the main events are near completed or wouldn't slow down the main tournaments.

So it's on once again! Let the hype begin!  

The Japanese PS2 version of Melty Blood: Actress Again will be used.
* The Original balance settings will be used.
* Default settings (except for quick restart and handicap being disabled).
* All characters are allowed except Archtype:Earth.
* Bring your own stick or pad.
* Free character selection by default; blind pick can be requested by either player.
* Player side (1P/2P) is to be determined by a coinflip upon request. No switching for the duration of the match
* Shower or bathe before the tournament. 
* You can change your character at any time except when you just won a game (and, of course, mid-game/between rounds).
* All multi-button marcos

1v1:
* Double elimination bracket.
* Two out of three games for most tournament games.
* Three out of five for winners finals, losers finals, and grand finals.

2v2:
* Teams are to be composed of exactly two people.
* Single elim bracket.
* [[Depending on the number of entries]] I would like to divide the teams into 3 single elim brackets. The winners of each bracket would do a 3 team round robin final.
* Players are free to select any tournament-legal character and mode they wish at any time, regardless of what their partner is using.
* The format for the tournament is commonly known as "Waseda", where each person on the team plays one person on the other team. If both players on a team win, they advance to the next round. If the teams split the games, the winners of the first two games play each other to determine the winner of the set. (aka: A1vA2, B1vB2, winner of A v winner of B (unless they are on the same team))
* All sets out of the team tournament are only one game.
* If both teams can decide on initial match-ups, then they can be used. If no agreement can be made, a blind draw will be used.
